Build-gnuradio under Ubuntu 13.04

GNU Radio

Has anyone experienced any build failures in UHD on Ubuntu 13.04 using
build-gnuradio?

I haven’t upgraded my Ubuntu system yet, and I have had one report of a
UHD build failure on Ubuntu 13.04
due to libboost1.49, but a manual upgrade to libboost1.53 cured it.

Hi Marcus,

I have installed both UHD and gnuradio on several xubuntu 13.04
computers having the default boost 1.49. No build issues and no
runtime issues, though haven’t done much testing so far.

I didn’t try to build with Boost 1.49. I went
straight to Boost 1.53 and haven’t had any issues yet (knock on
wood!).

OK, so the question I have
lingering in my head is whether I should special-case Ubuntu 13.04, and
have it explicitly install Boost1.53. I have one report of grief with
UHD+Ubuntu-13.04+boost-1.49, and reports of it having gone just fine
with boost-1.49 on Ubuntu 13.04.

I updated the GNURadio Ubuntu install instructions for the 1.53 special
case. It’s a known safe option, so it should generate less issues.

I’ll update the wiki once Ubuntu updates the libboost-all-dev
meta-package
to the newer version.

Cheers,
Ben

I found a different issue with Ubuntu 13.04 - if both qt 4.8 and 5.0
are installed, cmake will disable the qtgui component because it will
only find Qt 5. There is probably a simple solution but i haven’t had
the time to look at it.

It looks like this problem can be solved by installing the qt4-default
package.
